Exegesis
The Hifil verb horashta {הוֹרַשְׁתָּ | hô-rāš-tā} ‘you drove out’ precedes the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} and the participle phrase yoshvei haaretz hazot {יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּאת | yō-šə-ḇē hā-ʾā-reṣ haz-zōʾt} ‘inhabitants of this land’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:7
Is it not You, our God , who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham, Your friend, forever?
